"A timeline of mass shootings carried out by veterans and active duty soldiers over the last two decades https://t.co/OY3X8OMJLA pic.twitter.com/wlJUxGswlU
— NBC New York (@NBCNewYork) January 7, 2017"
On the heels of a shooting at Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport last week, allegedly perpetrated by 26-year-old Esteban Santiago — a veteran of Puerto Rico’s National Guard — NBC News’ New York City affiliate, WNBC-TV, ran a news story about mass shootings in America carried out by veterans.
First, Griswold noted that while WNBC created a timeline on mass shootings carried out by veterans, they have yet to create one on shootings carried out by radical Islamic extremists — which are statistically much more common.
“Let’s get the obvious point out of the way: no, NBC New York has never made a timeline listing every mass shooting carried out by those who follow a certain ideology. When people of those ideology commit those shootings, we are buffeted with assurances that is [sic] is wrong and immoral to stigmatize millions based on the actions of a few,” Griswold wrote. “That courtesy evidently does not extend to our men in uniform.”
